Description Tribute to one of the best series of all time.

I drew this after watching "The Southern Raiders". I didn't have a real reference to the costumes so i just tried to do it from memory.

I have to say that the finale was fantabulous. Very sad too. Another great show off the air. But I saw this somewhere and it made me smile: "Don't be sad because it's over. Smile because it happened." Wise words.

Anyways, Zuko's body sort of... huge. Compared to katara, anyways. But yeah, they're still a great team up.
I will always be an Avatard.

I am going to miss this show so much! It completely sucks that we'll have to wait until the release of the live action film, for anything new regarding Avatar! You've drawn both characters very well, and I like how you've shown them "in action"! Very nice body positioning, and simply marvelous job on shading this piece! Fantastic work! Now I'm going to have to rely on Ben 10: Alien Force to get my weekly cartoon fix!

I'm going to miss it too. Very glad you like it! i needed a true avatards's response to make sure it was acceptable.
gonna have ta watch that ben 10 stuff now.

Yes, I hope you do watch Ben 10! The Fourth season just came out on DVD this week, so now all four seasons are available to buy on DVD! Also, all current episodes of Ben 10: Alien Force are available to download here -> [link] ! That way you can catch up on all that you've missed so far!

I just picked up the first disc of season 1, and I have to say I dug it. As always, your shading is perfect. I think the highlights in Zuko's hair are my favorite part of this pic, but you always have this kinda warm, smooth shading that makes me envious.

He has tiny, sissy girl hands, though

Fatalist555 In reply to GavinMichelli [2008-08-05 06:49:18 +0000 UTC]

Yay another convert!! so glad you're into the series man.... you won't be dissapointed with the rest of the show.
I like your description of my shading.... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

If you hadn't already noticed, Zuko is an Emo momma's boy who's been spoiled rotten, so of course he has little girl hands.
Plus, he's asian.

"But I saw this somewhere and it made me smile: "Don't be sad because it's over. Smile because it happened." Wise words."

I came across that a while ago myself. Apparently, it came from Dr. Seuss.
But it is a good quote.

Nice pic. I loved the finale on it. It was perfect! No complaints at all. I wish producers on other series would learn something from Avatar and perhaps stop making the overabundance of dreg on the air.

thank you! i didn't know you like avatar too!!
I know, the finale was great, it met all my expectations. I know what you mean about other producers though... i never realized that i was watching crap until avatar came on... then i thought, why am i watching all these other crappy shows??? they've warped my mind!!

StevenVnDoom In reply to Fatalist555 [2008-08-03 23:52:06 +0000 UTC]

Definitely! God, I miss quality cartoons. Sigh... The only alternative is anime (no way in hell is THAT gonna happen!). Well, actually I used to be an anime fan along with my best friend, but he crossed the line from fan to whackjob so I kinda lost any attraction to it. lol.

i know... the tube is full of all this shitty anime that is warping young peeps minds into thinking that it's actually GOOD.
i have to agree though... i used to be a huge anime fan. But only the good ones... Cowboy Bebop.... fullmetal alchemist... some deathnote now... and a lot of manga. But western comics/shows contrast so greatly with them that it was hard to get into them at first, but after Justice League and reading Batman:Hush i pulled a 180. i didn't know i was missing so much good stuff.

nice clean solid lines! Great job!

As for Avatar, ive only watched a few episodes and it seems like a great series indeed. I think i can relate to how you feel when something you love watching ends coz that's exactly how i felt when they stopped maling Samurai X.

Fatalist555 In reply to semaj007 [2008-07-31 19:09:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man! Yeah, avatar was a great show... you just had to get into it first before you can really understand it.
Wasn't Samurai X basically about 4 episodes on Kenshin's past with Tomoe? i downloaded those eps recently, they were fantastic.

semaj007 In reply to Fatalist555 [2008-08-01 02:03:58 +0000 UTC]

4 episodes? i think there were 3-4 seasons of Samurai X. There was also the movie (which was poor). But my faves are the minimovies where the story of how he got his trademark X scar and the one that told the story of how he and Tomoe died. Great stuff!

Fatalist555 In reply to semaj007 [2008-08-01 04:54:32 +0000 UTC]

Really??? Wow, now i'm really confused.
oh wait, I saw the MINI-movie where he got the scar. i thought that whole thing was Samurai X... whoops, silly me.
holy crap, i have to see all the seasons then! I've just seen the mini-movies and the first part of Rurouni Kenshin. both good.

semaj007 In reply to Fatalist555 [2008-08-01 05:37:55 +0000 UTC]

I guess youve missed 90% of his stuff! LOL. But i gotta tell you that the art is waaaay better in the minimovie how he got the scar and how he died but the series is still great!

While Naruto uses more of a western feel to the animation, Samurai X has the classic anime look to it. Dated but still awesome by today's standards.

Fladam [2008-07-31 03:28:06 +0000 UTC]

Is that the show where the characters bend light and rain and stuff. I've seen it a few times but not quite grasped the essence of it, probably because it's one of those shows you need to follow fairly religiously. I refuse to watch Heroes or Lost until I watch the series in order, and the older those series become, the less likely I'll get into them because then it's too much work.

Anyway, moving on. I must confess, I couldn't relate your characters to the cartoon series as I've watched it so seldom and couldn't tell you who was who. I remember a bald child and a white creature that flew, and your characters I cannot place for the life of me. From an arty point of view, your people are very dynamic in their actions, they have the expressions of a warrior and the aggression of a jungle cat. I wouldn't like to cross these folks in a dark alley or a public burdened open stadium whilst the Olympics were playing out.

What I like about your drawing is the simplicity you have employed. This is not as complex as some of the images I've seen you produce here on DA, but it is certainly effective.

Keep them coming.

Fatalist555 In reply to Fladam [2008-07-31 04:56:14 +0000 UTC]

Yup, that's the show. To be honest, i thought it was going to be such a bad show. I thought, "oh no, not another americanime that little kids are going to crap their pants over and ignore the good shows". Then my friend told me I should watch it from the begininng, and she showed me the first three episodes. i thought they were pretty good, and soon i was watching them everytime they werre on TV. They steadily got more mature and reeled me into the plot and characters easily.

Ha, "jungle cat"... that's the perfecct way to describe Katara when she's pissy. I definitley tried to make this image much simplier and cleaner... i usually find i can't finish a lot of images because i want to add so much detail that it never really works out.
glad ya like it!

Yeah, but no new episodes will be aired is what i'm getting at. I've probably seen all the episodes a billion times so watching them again on TV doesn't really excite me as much. but there's still the movie!
